Flashpoint: School Violence

Flashpoint: School Violence

January 11, 2013

Rose Library, 3rd
Floor Flex Space

3:30 – 5 p.m.

Description:

In memory
of those who perished and in honor of those who survived the Sandy Hook
Elementary School tragedy, this Flashpoint aims to examine the difficulty of
peacebuilding in the aftermath of school violence and to examine preventative
approaches in play to deter future violent incidents in our K-12 schools as
well as at colleges and universities. An array of panelists who have hands-on
experiences dealing with and preventing violence in schools will explore these
questions: What are the impacts of violence on our educational systems? How do
we heal? And, how do we create safe schools and communities?

Panelists:

Dr. Doug
Alderfer, assistant superintendent of Rockingham County Public Schools
